Died from supposed suicide…
To date, the Police have not definitively said the actual cause of death. From another photograph of Corporal Thompson’s dead body, many officers past and present theorized that he was murdered…

Additionally, every day an average of 3.2 Jamaicans are slaughtered by marauding gunmen who kill men, women, and children.
No one is spared; the word out of Jamaica House.….….….….….….….….….….….….…
We will continue with this Article as we await word from the Nation’s highest elected office.
The leadership quality in Jamaica is not a reflection of the leader alone, as we sometimes allow ourselves to believe. Conversely, it is more directly a reflection of the quality of the people. We know we are under when we lower the bar so low that the bottom of the barrel becomes a high place.
Jamaicans long gave up the right to disciplined, intelligent leadership. For decades Jamaican voters allowed themselves to be herded into zones of political exclusions where they have been made to do the bidding of both political parties.
This resulted in a situation where the people became the servants of the political parties rather than the Parties serving the people. Over the years, both political parties have played that game, and today the Governing party has mastered the art of manipulating the people.
Unfortunately, most of the voters who support the political parties are blissfully ignorant that they deserve better, not better, in the sense of handouts. But better services., Better representation. Better Infrastructure. Better Leadership.Better Education and Health. Better sourcing of markets for their produce. Better in terms of bringing manufacturing back to the Island. Better in eradicating the demonic criminals who use the country as a haven. Better in terms of how children are protected.
Today, due to the poor leadership quality the people accepted, Jamaica continues as a shell of what it used to be. She sits at the bottom of the barrel in employment — top of the list for murders, serious felonies, and the abuse of children. Near the top in Poverty and misery. Moral values, once a hallmark of almost every Jamaican family now a dirty term.
I just happened to see a video on social media yesterday; it was of two women in a dance hall naked as they were born. I wondered, ” How in Heaven’s name did we get here”?
Those who exploit the people for their own political gains may be half-baked idiots, but they know enough to latch onto the winners’ successes even though they played no part in their development.
It is not difficult to understand why the Prime Minister is mute on the continued killings and assaults on hundreds and hundreds of Jamaicans but vociferously latches onto the successes of the Nation’s athletes.
Jamaican Politicians have always been parasites; why should they stop now?
